Cancer cells send out the alarm on tumor-killing virusBrain-tumor cells that are infected with a cancer-killing virus release a protein "alarm bell" that warns other tumor cells of the impending infection and enables them to mount a defense against the virus, according to a study led by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center &#150; Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC &#150; James).http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-03-cancer-cells-alarm-tumor-killing-virus.html
CancerThu, 15 Mar 2012 17:22:25 ESTnews251050939Radionuclide treatment against small tumors and metastasesMedicine could very soon have a new ally in the fight against cancer: Terbium-161. Its most important weapon: Conversion and Auger electrons. Researchers at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen have developed a new treatment method based on terbium-161 to treat smaller tumors and metastases in a more targeted way. The nuclide was produced at the TUM's research neutron source. In cooperation with the Paul Scherrer Institute it has been tested on cancer cells successfully.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-06-radionuclide-treatment-small-tumors-metastases.html

CancerWed, 08 Jun 2011 14:00:01 ESTnews226756743Gene-modified stem cells help protect bone marrow from toxic side effects of chemotherapyAlthough chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, it can also have a strong toxic effect on normal cells such as bone marrow and blood cells, often limiting the ability to use and manage the chemotherapy treatment. Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center reported at today's annual meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy in Seattle that one possible approach to reduce this toxic effect on bone marrow cells is to modify the cells with a gene that makes them resistant to chemotherapy.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-05-gene-modified-stem-cells-bone-marrow.html
CancerSat, 21 May 2011 05:36:52 ESTnews225174980Heat helps cancer drugs battle cancer(PhysOrg.com) -- Localized hyperthermia has been used occasionally with cancer drugs for some time, but until now, the reason it helps has been a mystery. In a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists have discovered that the addition of heat inhibits homologous recombination so the cancer cells are unable to repair DNA damage caused by the cancer treatments.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-05-cancer-drugs.html
